GENERAL INFORMATION
Segesser Surveys submitted a preliminary plat on behalf of Cheney and Maryanne McLennan.
The plat affects the parcels described as Lots 1 and 2, McLennan Estates. The preliminary plat
shows that the owner is reconfiguring two lots (Lots 1 and 2) into three smaller lots (Lots 1A, 2A,
and 3). Lot 1A comprises 2.537 acres (approximately 110,512 square feet); Lot 2A comprises
Page 2 of 3
1.572 acres (approximately 68,476 square feet); and Lot 3 comprises 0.924 acres (approximately
40,249 square feet). There are residences located on the proposed Lots 2A and 3. Lot 2 formerly
held both residences; the preliminary plat divides the two residences into separate parcels.
Application, Public Notice, Public Comment
KMC 14.10.010 General under Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations states preliminary plats or
replats must first be submitted to the City for review prior to the submittal of the plat to the Kenai
Peninsula Borough Planning Department. Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.10.060 describes the
process in more detail. The plat will be reviewed first by the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning
Commission and then by the Kenai Peninsula Borough’s Plat Committee and Planning
Commission.
The property owners completed the City of Kenai preliminary plat submittal form. The City of Kenai
follows Kenai Peninsula Borough Code 20.25.070 and 20.25.080 for preliminary plat submittal
requirements. City staff published notice of the consideration of the plat as part of the agenda for
the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission in the Peninsula Clarion. No public comments
have been received as of June 5, 2020.
ANALYSIS
Access to the proposed lots is via Davidson Drive which is a gravel road that is maintained by the
City of Kenai. The proposed plat does not dedicate any additional rights-of-way.
The property owner is connected to City of Kenai water and sewer services. The connection for
the services is located in the residence on the proposed Lot 2A and a line runs from this residence
to the residence on the proposed Lot 3. The connection to the residence on the proposed Lot 3
would cross the property line between the two lots and is not allowed by Municipal Code. The
property owner must install a separate water and sewer connection to the residence located on
the proposed Lot 3. Proposed Lot 3 would likely be able to meet Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation requirements for a well and septic system and the residence on
proposed Lot 2A would remain on City water and sewer. The parcels are not required to be
connected to City water and sewer. An installation agreement will be required for the capping of
the water, sewer and electrical lines to the proposed Lot 3. The plat will not be recorded until the
property owner and the City have an installation agreement in place. The applicant is aware of
and amenable to these requirements and has started consultation with the City Planner, Building
Inspector, and Public Works Director for an installation agreement. City staff recommends a
condition of approval of the plat be the requirement for the installation agreement.
Plat note number ten (10) addresses wastewater disposal on the property. The note provides that
the soil conditions, water table levels, and soil slopes in this subdivision have been found suitable
for conventional onsite wastewater systems serving single-family or duplex residences. Any other
type of onsite wastewater treatment and disposal system must be designed by a professional
engineer, and the design must be approved by the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation. A fifteen-foot (15’) easement for utilities is located along the property lines adjacent
to the right-of-way for Davidson Drive and the Kenai Spur Highway.
The preliminary plat meets requirements of KMC Subdivision design standards and KMC
14.10.080 Minimum improvements required under Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations. City

staff recommends a condition of approval for the property to conform to all federal, State of Alaska,
and local regulations and for an installation agreement to be finalized prior to the recording of the
plat.
